They should have named it QtPy.... Seriously

Excellent video. Clearly explained, with genuinely helpful clarifications, you've obviously put thought into this rather than cribbing points. Now I'm keen to watch other of your videos too 👍

Thanks for informative video. But I'd like to point that Qt is not just a framework for building GUIs. It's a framework that contains tools for building GUIs but also much more. You can write command line tools, daemons and embedded software with it also nicely. You could compare it to boost library which does lot of same but doesn't have a GUI module.

Thank you for this. Very good explanation!

Quite good video, but in my opinion two very important questions should be considered, too: Which one has the larger user base? And how easy is it to contribute (e.g. bugs, code, documentation). Both affects how up-to-date each software stays when it is already released. While a big user base might faster stumble uppon bugs in the software, and maybe provide workarounds or solutions, a project that allows easy contribution might even have faster provisioning of bug fixes. From my daily use, I would always go with pyqt in early development. And then, if really needed switch to pyside for releasing.

If people are going to commit to anyone of these to options, note there is no substantive community for working with these two frameworks. And absolutely zero for working with the QML language. (Qt is not QML) You’ll pretty much have a pretty interface but connecting to a database or doing serial communications, you’ll be on your own. It should come with a warning, that the developers of the framework don’t respect the time commitment of folks new to the framework. But this would become obvious when you see that no one is really offering any tutorials on it. You can take your chances with Qt but not the QML part.

Which do you suggest that is amazingly similar and has a larger community support?

@StarChild.no1 Жыл бұрын

@egedesolomon7454 So far, it's been my experience working with Pyside6 using QML as it pertains to community support, they're both the same thing. It's really the import statements are worded differently. And after spending time using QML, there has yet a problem or feature implementation that I haven't been able to solve, doing Google searches, StackOverflow or the Documentation.

They're python libraries so can't you just leverage the existing python tools and community for those tasks?

@StarChild.no1 7 ай бұрын

@michaelosajeh4111 Yes. That's what I did. I mostly utilized PySide signal slots and properties to connect to qml. But for tasks lilke serial communication, threading, and database stuff, I leaned on the Python community's robust support. A.I. (Codium) is also a good tool for offering up suggestions on the Pyside6 libraries, but it also struggles. But it rocks for pure python and cpp work. I use Qml because it gives me the opportunity to code in a Model, View, Controller, OOP style. Plus QML is really straightforward and tidy..

4:50 How does it make sense, to release source code of the app for free and then sell it?

@JohnDoe-kw2nl 2 жыл бұрын

It does make sense in quite a few scenarios. For example, selling technical software in business to business sells. Another is embeded. Look at the about info on any modern LG TV. It's actually running quite a lot of open source software under the LGPL.

I don't understand something: What do you mean by give my code to my client? how people from PyQt5 knows I am going to sell a gui built using this framework? If I create a .exe to install the gui in the client's computer... I don't really understand

@havingfunxd Жыл бұрын

Technically they do not know that you've used their code. However, even if you package your Python code into an .exe or .dmg it is still possible to de-compile your binary and see what symbols (function, constants, shared libraries ...) were used in it. That's where it is possible to deduce whether you used PyQT or not and if it is determined that you did, you'll be in violation of their license and they'll be able to win in court against you. If that happens, you'll be liable for breach of license agreement and would have to pay them damages. All in all, if you are developing software as a business, the legal risk isn't worth it.
